Definitions

  • the invention relates to the construction and overproduction of engineered multifunctional plant cell-wall degrading enzymes, and to their uses as improved enzymatic tools for valorization of agricultural by-products.
  • ferulic acid (4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-cinnamic acid) is a very attractive phenolic compound found as the most abundant hydroxycinnamic acid in the plant world.
  • ferulic acid can be used as an antioxidant (23) or be transformed by microbial conversion into "natural" vanillin as an expensive flavour in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries (4,26).
  • ferulic acid is a key structural component with important physical and chemical properties of plant cell walls. Indeed, it may act as a crosslinking agent between lignin and carbohydrates or between carbohydrates themselves (16) influencing the cell wall integrity, and thus reducing biodegradability extent resulting from microbial enzymes (6).
  • Microorganisms evolved enzymes such as feruloyl esterases (EC 3.1.1.73), able to hydrolyse ester bonds linking ferulic acid to plant cell wall polysaccharides. These enzymes allow a facilitated accessibility for other lignocellulolytic enzymes to the polysaccharide backbone (for a review, see 12).
  • feruloyl esterases act in synergy with the main-chain-degrading enzymes such as ⁇ -(1,4)-endoxylanases to increase the release of ferulic acid from plant cell wall and for production of sufficient amount needed for applications (2,15,50).
  • Filamentous fungi such as Aspergillus niger
  • Filamentous fungi are a well-known producers of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes.
  • Two different genes encoding feruloyl esterases from A. niger were already cloned (10,11) and their corresponding recombinant proteins overproduced in Pichia pastoris and A. niger (24,30,41).
  • Several fungal feruloyl esterases were purified and characterized (18,47) but no gene was further cloned.
  • CBM Carbohydrate-Binding-Module
  • CBM have a major role on insoluble substrate degradation (45). For instance, they are responsible for the maintain of the catalytic core domain close to the substrate increasing longevity and intimacy of contact. Moreover, in some cases, CBM can also alter the cellulose microfibril structure by weakening the hydrogen bonds of the gathered cellulose chains (13,14,33).
  • the present invention involves considerations about the synergistic effect between free and fused plant cell wall-degrading enzymes of fungi, such as A. niger.
  • fungi such as A. niger.
  • physical proximity of two catalytic components allowed to observe enhanced synergy on recalcitrant substrates (17).
  • the inventors designed a chimeric protein associating a fungal feruloyl esterase and a clostridial dockerin domain to be grafted with a second enzyme onto a bacterial CBM-containing-scaffolding protein (31).
  • production yield of the recombinant protein were not enough large for test applications at industrial scale and a new strategy was envisaged.
  • the inventors fused two fungal enzymes: the feruloyl esterase A (FAEA) and the xylanase B (XYNB) from A. niger separated by a hyperglycosylated linker peptide to obtain a bifunctional enzyme (FLX) with increased efficiency for the ferulic acid release.
  • FAEA feruloyl esterase A
  • XYNB xylanase B
  • FLXLC bifunctional enzyme
  • the objective of this work was to compare the ferulic acid release efficiency by using free or fused enzymes in order to study enzymatic synergy generated by the physical proximity of fungal enzymes. Moreover, effect of the CBM addition at the C-terminus of the bifunctional enzyme was investigated in the FLXLC construction.
  • the present invention relies on the demonstration of the synergistic effect of the fusion in a single chimeric protein of plant cell-wall degrading enzymes, said enzymes being such that they do not contain a CBM, when compared to the use of the free plant cell-wall degrading enzymes.
  • the main goal of the present invention is to provide new fusion proteins between plant CBM-free cell-wall degrading enzymes.
  • Another goal of the present invention is to provide a new process for the preparation of compounds of interest linked to the walls of plant cells, by applying said fusion proteins to plants, and advantageously to agricultural by-products, as substrates.
  • the present invention relates to the use of fusion proteins between at least two plant cell-wall degrading enzymes, said enzymes being such that they do not contain a C-terminal carbohydrate-binding-molecule (CBM), and optionally a CBM, said enzymes and CBM being recombinant proteins corresponding to native proteins in fungi, or mutated forms thereof, for carrying out processes of plant cell-wall degradation in the frame of the preparation, from plants or vegetal by-products, of compounds of interest located in plant cell-wall, or in the frame of the bleaching of pulp and paper.

  • Protein analysis and N-Terminal amino-acid sequence determination Protein concentration was determined according to Lowry et al. (34) with bovine serum albumin as the standard. Protein production and purification were checked using Coomassie blue stained SDS-PAGE (11% polyacrylamide) slab gels. The N-terminal sequences were determined according to Edman degradation from an electroblotted FLX and FLXLC samples (100 ⁇ g) onto a polyvinylidine difluoride membrane (Millipore). Analyses were carried out on an Applied Biosystem 470A.
  • membranes were subsequently incubated with goat anti-rabbit immunoglobin G conjugated with horseradish peroxidase (Promega). Signals were detected with chemiluminescence Western blotting kit (Roche) according to the manufacturer's procedure.

  • Enzymic hydrolysis Wheat bran (WB) and maize bran (MB) were destarched. These substrates were submitted to heat treatment at 130°C for 10 min. Enzymic hydrolyses were performed in 0.1 M 3-( N -morpholino)propanesulfonic acid (MOPS) buffer containing 0.01% sodium azide at pH 6.0, in a thermostatically controlled shaking incubator at 40°C. WB or MB (200 mg) were incubated with the purified, FAEA (SEQ ID NO : 2), XYNB (SEQ ID NO : 6), FAEA+XYNB, FLX and FLXLC, independently, in a final volume of 5 ml.

This ratio corresponds to the molar to molar condition found in the purified bifunctional enzyme. Each assay was done in duplicate and the standard deviation was less than 5% from the mean of the value for WB and MB.
  • the A. niger sequences encoding the feruloyl esterase A (FAEA) and the xylanase B (XYNB) were genetically fused by adding, between both partners, a sequence from the cellobiohydrolase B gene (cbhB) coding for a hyperglycosylated linker (Fig.1.A).

  • Fig.1.A the corresponding fusion FLX was fused to a partial sequence of A. niger cbhB gene coding for the linker-CBM (Fig.1.B).
  • Both translational fusions were placed under the control of the strong and constitutive gpdA promoter and the trpC terminator with the endogeneous faeA signal sequence to target the secretion.
  • A. niger D15#26 protoplasts were co-transformed with a mixture of expression vector pFLX or pFLXLC and plasmid pAB4-1 containing the pyrG gene. Transformants were selected for their abilities to grow on a minimum medium plate without uridine. Forty transformants for each construction were inoculated into a glucose-minimal medium repressing the endogenous faeA and xynB gene expression.
  • FLXLC contains at the C-terminus end, the CBM from A. niger cellobiohydrolase B.
  • Interaction assays of FLXLC with cellulose were carried out in order to determine the binding parameters of CBM.
  • Cellulose binding affinity and binding capacity of FLXLC were determined towards the microcrystalline cellulose, Avicel PH101. Measured values were of 9.9 10 -8 M and 0.98 ⁇ mol/g Avicel for the dissociation constant ( K d ) and the binding capacity, respectively. As expected, no interaction was found for the chimeric enzyme FLX (without CBM).
  • Biochemical and kinetic parameters In order to control whether the fusion of both enzymatic partners with or without CBM have modified characteristics of each enzyme, biochemical and kinetic parameters of FLX and FLXLC were compared to the free recombinant FAEA and XYNB according to the esterase and xylanase activities (Table. 1). Concerning pH optimum and stability, no significant difference was found between both bifunctional enzymes and free FAEA or XYNB. For the temperature optimum and stability, the only distinction concerns a slight shift measured for the xylanase activities.
  • FLX and FLXLC were compared to the free enzymes FAEA and XYNB for the FA release efficiency. All enzymes were purified to homogeneity and incubated with WB and MB because of their naturally high amount of FA contained in the cell wall.
  • free FAEA 41% and 51% of the total alkali-extractable FA from WB was released after 4 and 16 h, respectively (Fig.5,A). These percentages were slightly increased to 51% (4h) and 54% (16h) with the addition of free XYNB.
  • a wide range of enzymes is required for biodegradation of the plant cell wall due to its heterogeneity in composition and structure. Some combinations between different main-chain and accessory hydrolytic enzymes demonstrated important synergistic effect leading to an efficient degradation of the cell wall (9,12).
  • two plant cell wall-degrading enzymes and a carbohydrate-binding-module of A. niger were fused to study the synergistic effect on degradation of natural substrates.
  • the construction of such hybrid proteins is an original aspect of protein engineering opening a wide range of potential applications.
  • the concept lies in the recruiting of two functional units to create improved bifunctional proteins (3,36). Such multimodular organisations are commonly found in the Nature, leading to enzyme production with more than one enzymatic activity or protein function.
  • FAEA was fused to XYNB (construction FLX).
  • a fungal CBM from the A. niger CBHB was fused at the C-terminus extremity in the second construction (FLXLC) to target the bifunctional enzyme on cellulose.
  • FLXLC the second construction
  • a hyperglycosylated linker peptide was fused between each module (FAEA, XYNB or CBM) for three main reasons. Firstly, the linker is known to retain the capacity of modules to fold independently and to conserve a conformational freedom relative to one another (36).
  • both feruloyl esterase and xylanase were able to adopt this conformation and the engineered bifunctional proteins were active with biochemical and kinetic properties corresponding to free enzymes.
  • high degree of glycosylation of the linker allows to increase the stability of proteins sequence by protecting the linker from protease activities and finally, by avoiding the frequent problem of cleavage between fused modules (8,36). This effect was observed because both bifunctional enzymes were stable as shown by SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis. However, stability of hybrid enzymes was shown to have some limits with thermal treatment.
  • the influence of the heat treatment on the FLX and FLXLC integrity showed that they were stable up to 45°C and then cleaved in the linker sequence at 50°C.
  • the hyperglycosylated linker could have a positive role in secretion increasing the production yield as demonstrated for the hyperglycosylated linker from the A. niger glucoamylase (32).
  • glycosylation sites due to the presence of one or two linkers for FLX and FLXLC, respectively could extend retention of recombinant proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum, thereby providing additional time for correct folding and resulting in an increase of production (42). This latter hypothesis could explain why the production yields for both bifunctional enzymes were higher than those obtained for the corresponding free recombinant enzymes (29,41).
  • Avicel cellulose has an important degree of polymerisation of 100-250 glucopyranose units and 50-60% of crystalline form with a crystalline phase essentially composed of type I ⁇ characteristic of higher plants (49). Results showed that FLXLC possess affinity for Avicel confirming that the structure of CBM is not perturbed and that CBM conserved its function into the hybrid enzyme.
  • Both bifunctional proteins FLX and FLXLC were finally tested to study the effect of the physical proximity of two complementary fungal enzymes on the enzymatic synergy and the influence of the CBM addition.
  • the application test was based on the FA release from two natural and model substrates, WB and MB, known for their high amount of FA in the plant cell wall of approximately 1% and 3 % (w/w), respectively (43). Both substrates are generated from agriculture and could be valorizated in agro-food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical sectors (4,26). Free enzymes were able to release 54% and 4.8% of the FA content from WB and MB, respectively.
  • Fig. 1 Expression cassettes used in this study.
  • the FLX template was fused to the cbhb sequence encoding the linker sequence and CBM generating the FLXLC insert.
